EASTWICK Is Casting...

Merrick here...


LIPSTICK JUNGLE's Lindsay Price has been cast in ABC's EASTWICK.




She joins the already cast Jaime Ray Newman from VERONICA MARS as one of three witchy main characters.




The Warner Bros.-produced "Eastwick" follows three young witches who come into their powers. WMA-repped Price will play one of them, Joanna, a hardworking, shy reporter for the local newspaper. She joins Jaime Ray Newman, who was recently cast as a fellow witch.


...says THIS PIECE in Hollywood Reporter.

EASTWICK is bases on George Miller's 1987 feature film THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK, which itself was based on a novel by John Updike. THE WIDOWS OF EASTWICK, Updike's sequel to his 1984 progenitor novel, was recently published and can be found HERE.

    Due to the success of Charmed...

    by soylentmean

    another show about witches. I love the movie (especially Nicholson turning into Gigantosatan at the end) but I don't really see people getting interested in this as a show.

    I've never seen a guy play a better the devil than Gary Cole, and he deserves another shot at it.

    Lucas Buck from American Gothic

    by soylentmean

    now that's a show that got the shaft, with one of televisions most evil creations. Gary Cole should have won an emmy for that role.

    ...and I'm hoping for that. But how can Lindsay be on both shows?

    Don't know

    by chrth

    It would require staggered 'destination' orders. For Ex., Eastwick 13 eps in the fall and LJ 13 eps in the spring. If they add 8 eps of Eastwick for the spring, LJ should finish filming in time. It's a possibility.

    And if you read the article

    by chrth

    It makes it sound like LJ has dibs on Lindsay Price, not Eastwick.

    Witches!!

    by oisin5199

    Can't wait to see how badly they fuck this up. I wonder if Laurie Cabot will come out of the woodwork and protest this one, too. As much as I love Supernatural, I've been pretty uncomfortable with their glaringly misogynist and incredibly inaccurate depictions of witches. The demon Sam Hain indeed. Skeevy witches!

    by radio1_mike

    They really tarted it up this time around... I'm not complaining!

    Actually, I was married in the church that was used in the film. Also, 'Eastwick, RI' is based on Wickford, RI which is just as pleasant as can be.
